The data isn't in a matrix yet. The data printed at the bottom of the jpg
are the means of the variables for each sampling time and I haven't
calculated the means yet. Does this mean that I have to get the means first
then use cbind to make a new matrix? The data looks like this:
[site] [time] [transect] [coral] [deadcoral] [algae] [abiotic]
[softcoral]
[1,] S1 t1 trans1 94 90 51 74
83
[2,] S1 t1 trans2 98 14 39 81
1
[3,] S1 t2 trans1 12 99 91 39
21
[4,] S1 t2 trans2 47 95 45 69
91
[5,] S2 t1 trans1 56 8 84 0
61
[6,] S2 t1 trans2 56 8 84 0
61
[7,] S2 t2 trans1 57 1 30 5
40
[8,] S2 t2 trans1 57 1 30 5
40
